Our Curious Amalgam
Axinn partner and ABA Antitrust Section Merger Committee Co-Chair Mike Keeley was a special guest on the August 26, 2019 episode of the ABA Antitrust Law Section podcast, "Our Curious Amalgam."
Merger control is one of the most high-profile areas of antitrust law, but jargon can all too easily obscure the key issues in this domain. During "Can We Have Mergers Without Tears? Understanding the Basics of Merger Review," Mike talks with hosts John Roberti and Sergei Zaslavsky about the process and substance of shepherding a merger from inception to approval. The episode provides an (almost) jargon-free demystification of mergers, and discusses the “freak-out” test for market definition.
